Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 × 13 baking dish.
Cook noodles according to package directions; drain; pour pasta to prepared baking dish.
While noodles are cooking, melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat; add onion; saute 5 - 7 minutes, until softened. Stir in garlic and flour; cook and stir 1-2 minutes. Slowly pour in broth and milk; season with salt and pepper; bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Once mixture has thickened, stir in peas, Cheddar cheese and chicken. Turn off the heat; stir until cheese has melted; pour over noodles.
In a small bowl, use a fork to mix together crushed crackers, Parmesan cheese and olive oil; sprinkle over casserole.
Bake uncovered, for 15 - 20 minutes, until crackers are lightly browned.
Serve immediately.
